Now that I think about it, what exactly would anyone find racist about the brand? I mean, it's literally just a black man.
Since the 1940s, the rice boxes have featured a white-haired Black man, sometimes with a bow tie, an image critics say evokes servitude.
What? There's absolutely nothing wrong with his wear. I think a lot of people would look at it and think it's of high class. Not to mention that there's nothing wrong with a black person portrayed in servitude. Being a servant is very different from being a slave, and both aren't just limited with black people either.
Just for an example, no one looks at Geoffrey from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and thinks the show is racist for portraying a character like that.
